Default Sucessful Spring Snow Goose Hunt! (Pics and Video)

Hey Guys,
Got back this past week from a spring snow goose hunt in Sask!
Well it was a first time experience and let me tell you, It Is Not Easy at all!
They are soooo hard to hunt and are smart! Here are some pics and a video that I did! Let me know what you think! The video should be in HD format but becasue of stupid Telus are internet has been down so it would take to long to upload! Enjoy!

I saw several hundred snow geese bedded down for the evening around Olds about a week ago. Since then the main flock has moved and I only saw several small groups in the following few days right after.

good for you, looks like you had a great time. how old were you when you started hunting? i only ask because you look quite young and untill i saw you behind the wheel of the truck wasn't sure if you were old enough to drive. congrats on the hunt.

Spring snow goose can be tough sluggin, hate to figure out cost per pound but worth every penny for getting to spend that quality time with dad and help brake the monotony until fall. Congrats, great video and pics! luv that tow behind trailer, sweet!! Maybe have to get you and your dad out for a fall snow goose and have a father son weekend

I started going out with my Dad when I was 5 and shot my first Deer at age 12, I am 14 now! You can get your learners driver license at 14!

Very well done and thank you for sharing. I noticed the wad coming down s well, kind of funny, at the same time I noticed you had your sunglasses on your ht when the geese were passing over............shine maybe? Just wondering.

Also, you did not hunt over a decoy spread, is this because you could not obtain any decoys or enough of them? Would be neat to watch them come in to the spread.

Anyhow, again thank you for shring and the footge was very good! Let us know how the meat is. Having fed on grain all winter, I bet they are pretty awesome.

Not sure whether it was the sunglasses or not, thoughs geese are so hard to hunt!
